Nov 16 at 13:02 comment added Croqueta Your definition is wrong, which leads to the misleading comments and answers given. The conjugate points are the critical values of exp. This is the definition given in Natario's book ("Riemannian geometry with applications to mechanics and relativity"). Your question is answered in chapter 10 ("Jacobi fields") of Lee's book on Riemannian manifolds.

Dec 9, 2017 at 21:03 comment added Valter Moretti All that is a direct application of the theorem of regular values.
Dec 9, 2017 at 20:57 comment added Valter Moretti Different such pairs, if exist and therefore there are converging geodesics in that case, are necessarily far from each other.
Dec 9, 2017 at 20:53 comment added Valter Moretti That definition, as it stands, says nothing about the existence of converging geodesics. It only says that if $q$ is conjugated to $S$ and $\exp(t,p)=q$, then $\exp$ is a local diffeomorphism from an open neighborhood of that $(t,p)$ to an open neighborhood of $q$. However there can exist different such pairs $(t,p) \in U$ for the given conjugate value $q$.

Dec 9, 2017 at 17:25 comment added Qmechanic Is definition taken from a reference? Title? Author? Page?
